Chapter 2: The Calm After Fusion

The spring breeze is still in the past, blowing softly on the earth, Wu Song's mood is not any better, half a month of strict patrol, but did not find the slightest problem, only a few days ago, the county government sent a few official letters saying that a village or many families are missing or strange deaths. It seems like everything has been quiet lately. There is no problem found there again. Wu Song still insisted on patrolling at night. Sleep during the day.

The streets of the county are prosperous and lively again. The people seem to have forgotten the strange things that happened some time ago. Only the place where the murder took place on the west side of the city gate, eerily calm, no one went there. Even the children who frolicked in the streets did not dare to go there to play. Because the adults told them that there were monsters there that ate people's hearts.

There were a few merchants on the street, and one merchant said to the others, "Did you hear that?" A few days ago, someone saw a dragon flying by the river. It was more than ten zhang long, and the dragon opened its mouth to swallow a person into its mouth, and then it disappeared into the river. One of them said, "I have heard, but I have also heard that the man on the shore walked under the sun and did not see a shadow." It is said that the man was a youkai became. A few other people said in surprise: "A few days ago, I heard someone say that there are monsters in the county town that eat people's hearts, is it true?" Several businessmen were scared and said: "I guess it's true, didn't you look at the west of the county, there is no one?" Even small children are afraid to go there to play. I think we also hurry up and sell the goods at hand, and go home honestly, my home is from Bianliang City, and the feet of the Son of Heaven must be safe. Several others nodded yes.

In the capital of Liao, the emperor, who originally liked to hunt, no longer dared to hunt, not because of the attack of the Jin State, but because he really found a monster, a big bird flew from the sky, and ate more than 300 people in his team with a mouthful, he was so frightened that he couldn't even stand up, and then heard his soldiers say that it seemed that a person flew into the sky and chased after the big bird.

Jin Guo has been fighting with a bone, and his face has been full of sadness in the past few days, and his people have been attacked by fierce beasts in a row, and they have lost hundreds of elite warriors. Although I feel full of strength these days, I have nowhere to vent. He sent more men to patrol everywhere, and although he killed a few, he lost dozens of elite soldiers. He was now considering whether to discuss with the Liao State and move all of them to densely populated areas.

His Majesty the Emperor in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty has not had time to play and frolic recently. There are a lot of strange things, the capital lost tens of thousands of people at once, as if it disappeared out of thin air, and I invited many people, but I couldn't find out the reason. Although he proclaimed himself a Taoist emperor, the gods descended to earth. But now I want to laugh.

Half a month later, on the top of Kunlun Mountain, a huge temple suddenly appeared. Then Mount Tai, Mount Hua, Chongshan, Mount Heng, Mount Heng, and many other high mountains, there are temples appearing. Then the East Sea, the West Sea, the South China Sea, the North Sea. A huge whirlpool appeared in the center. Palaces appeared at the bottom of the sea. In an unknown, deserted place, the earth suddenly cracked into a huge crack, and if you went in, you might be able to see many strange caves, within the cracks. And then inside the cave, there were a lot of strange people. Two of them were still talking, and one of them said, "Why don't you say the king won't let us go out and get some people's hearts to eat, I heard that eating too much people's hearts can increase their strength for many years." Another person said, "I heard that it was the Immortal Emperor and the Divine Realm Emperor who promised us many treasures to the Demon King, and asked him not to allow his monsters to go down and hunt mortals. One person said: "Our demon king himself is profound, but our way is very shallow, if we can't break through, it is estimated that we will die." "Who said it wasn't! I heard that the monsters who started to go out to get food were killed by the gods and dragons. Another said. Let's be careful, it won't be long before it gets better. Many brothers of the demon clan can't withstand the temptation of immortality. When the time comes, the king will not be able to stop it. Another said.

Half a year later, Wu Song found that his martial arts and strength were more than ten times higher than before, and he felt as if he had broken through some kind of barrier. I felt that it would not be long before I could jump 100 meters away at once. There are also his brothers, whose martial arts seem to be much higher than before. All long-range archers can shoot up to 200 meters away, and accurate shooters can shoot at a target of 150 meters. Wu Song didn't know if this change was just a part of the people, or just a few people. Wu Song felt uneasy in his heart. But I don't know why. At this time, someone came to report: "Lord Xu Han is invited." Wu Song quickly packed up and came to Lord Xu Han's mansion.

Wu Song saw Xu Han, and Xu Han told Wu Song: "I just received a proclamation from the imperial court that the Liao State invaded the border in a big way, and the strange thing is that they did not attack the city, but only plundered the people, and now they have robbed hundreds of thousands of people and retreated." Now the imperial court has issued a document to the state capitals, asking all states and counties to recommend people with strong martial arts skills to go to the border to defend the city. Wu Song said: "Those incompetent generals can also brag and give away the lives of soldiers in vain." Xu Han also sighed: "The imperial court has not paid attention to military generals for many years, and the armament is not as good as before. Now we can only clear the wilderness, send more sentinels, and move the people into the city in advance if the enemy comes to attack. This is the best way to go. Wu Song said: "Now that more than half a year has passed, I haven't found anything weird like last time, is it okay." Xu Han shook his head and said: "I'm afraid not, a few days ago, a county came to report, and something strange happened, a person seemed to have been squeezed dry, died at home, and the county magistrate in the county wrote to me that he suspected that it was a monster." Wu Song said: "These monsters seem to be restricted by something, and they dare not collectively kill and injure people as before, but if these monsters are not solved, there will still be people who will suffer, and they are really anxious to die." Xu Han said: "If it's really a monster, can we catch it?" Many Taoist priests said that they could catch demons, and they all came to cheat money. Wu Song said: "Otherwise, I will remove the patrolling soldiers tonight, and secretly send a few masters to secretly patrol the surroundings, if there is really a monster, I will catch him." Vowed to kill them, the brutes. Prevent them from harming innocent people. ”

Returning to the barracks at night, Wu Song ordered everyone to patrol during the day as usual and stop patrolling at night. Then call Yue Fei. XUE Yong. Time Shift. Wu San, Zhang Tieniu, Zhou Qing and a few people, explained that everyone secretly patrolled the city at night, don't be seen, the two of them are a pair, and they pretend to sleep in the middle of the city. If he was in danger, he shouted for help, and he ambushed a pair of soldiers in the homes of people in various parts of the city. When the time comes, I will come out to help. We must catch these evil beasts. After Wu Song explained to everyone, he then asked the secretary of the state army to write sixty official documents, stamped them with a big seal, and asked the soldiers to change into civilian clothes after dinner early, and go to the city to ambush their own assigned people. That night, Wu Song took a big knife, wrapped it in a cloth, disguised himself as a farmer, and then held a big knife in one hand and a wine bottle in the other, and swayed down the street pretending to be a drunk man who did not go home. As a result, nothing happened until dawn, and when I went back, I asked everyone, but there was no movement. Wu Song immediately ordered that the daytime patrols be stopped. The evening continues.

Wu Song returned home for breakfast, and then went to bed. At this time, Pan Jinlian came over, Wu Song saw Pan Jinlian, only to find that he had not been with him well for half a month, then closed the door, pulled him into his arms, kissed him, and was about to do the cloud and rain, but Pan Jinlian refused, Pan Jinlian said shyly: "The slave family seems to be happy, you can't do such things, if you want to do it, the slave family will choose a concubine for you." Wu Song said happily: "Great, I'm going to be a father." Then he hugged Pan Jinlian and kissed for a long time. It made Pan Jinlian's face even more embarrassed. It's not very neat to speak. Wu Song happily said to Pan Jinlian: "If you can't love, I'll just endure it, and I won't find another woman." Then Pan Jinlian helped Wu Song tidy up the bed quilt again, and secretly kissed Wu Song before running out.
